An insanely opulent 27-acre estate in Birmingham, Ala. — which is also touted as the state’s largest — will head to auction on Oct. 31.

Standing at roughly 55,000 square feet, the manse, the design of which is inspired by European royal castles, has 15 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms and six half-bathrooms. It took four years to construct and cost over $30 million. And it’s no wonder — ridiculous features abound.

Beyond its size, the most notable accoutrement is the estate’s massive guitar-shaped driveway, which surrounds gardens and fountains. Previous media reports have dubbed the spread The Guitar House.

But that’s just scratching the surface. Other outdoor perks include a six-stall barn with an apartment above it, plus a riding arena for the horses to strut their stuff. There’s also a pool with a waterfall and two covered cabanas.

Inside, you’d think you were in Versailles. The main house boasts gold leaf, stucco, millwork and stonework detailing throughout. The entry foyer alone has a sweeping staircase, a custom-painted ceiling mural and a crystal chandelier. It leads to the great room, which has more chandeliers, a fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows and herringbone tile floors.
